Babysitter accused of leaving 3 young children in bathtub, burglarizing Enterprise home

ENTERPRISE, Alabama -- A 19-year-old babysitter is accused of leaving three small children alone in a bathtub while she burglarized their home and left.

Krystallyn Mary Hussey of Enterprise was arrested by the Coffee County Sheriff's Department early this week and charged with three counts of child endangerment, third-degree trespassing and misdemeanor third-degree theft of property, the Dothan Eagle reported.

The report states Hussey left the children ages 9 months, 5 and 6 in the bathroom with snacks and told them not to leave until she got back.

The 6-year-old later left the bathroom and went to a neighbor's house to use the phone.

When the mother returned to her home on Coffee County Road 547, she discovered some of her jewelry missing.

Hussey was later arrested at a Wal-Mart store. Her bond was set at $16,500.
